Emma Dunbar was born in 1961 and graduated in 1984 with a BA (hons) in Fine Art Printmaking from West Surrey College of Art and Design. Since then she has worked full time as an artist and exhibited throughout the UK. Her paintings have been internationally reproduced as greetings cards, posters, limited edition etchings and even fabric designs. Emma strives trying to capture the essence of a place, a feeling, a thing. She is attracted to vivid colours and the decorative qualities in everyday objects.. Birds, shells, flowers and fish might be placed against true landmarks as focal points. Her pictures are therefore more atmospheric than literal. The aim is to end up with the gathered ingredients – glimpses of journeys, patterns from familiar settings and objects collected along the way – converging to create an image that communicates the richness of the original source of inspiration. Working mainly on board in acrylic, occasionally incorporating collage with gold and silver leaf, Emma’s training as a printmaker is evident both in the use of blocks of flat colour and in the way it is scratched through surfaces to reveal pre-laid colours underneath. Emma is heavily influenced by Cornwall and the chaos of cats and dogs wandering onto wet paint.

Fiona Millais graduated from University of Newcastle with a degree in Fine Art in 1984. Her work has been extensively exhibited at venues throughout the UK and at The Royal College of Art. Fiona’s paintings are often based on landscape or still life – of the coasts of Cornwall and Scotland, but are rarely a direct representation. Often produced on the completion of a journey – either abroad or within the British Isles and are evolved from memories, drawings and notes. Music and literature sometimes provide additional source material. Fiona will paint and repaint canvasses so that traces of original images remain present and her work undergoes a process of metamorphosis. In 2004 she was commissioned for the P&O Liner ‘Arcadia’ to produce 8 large works. Fiona is the great-granddaughter of the pre-Raphaelite painter Sir John Everett Millais.
